Default Window off track?

For almost a month and a half I havnt driven my car due to a broken ankle. Well to my suprise I get back into it today after letting my grandparents drive it. The thing is in horrible shape. Dings all around it. Ac seems to have quit working. And my favorite of all is what is messed up with my window now.

Here is a video of what its doing.

This is common and happened to two of my Civics when almost brand new, as well as a friend's car. Take the door panel off, remove the speaker. Loosen the necessary bolts so that you can lube the track with Shin Etsu grease. I used rubber gloves and Q-tips to help lube the inside of the tracks. If you don't have access to Shin Etsu, just get silicone paste, not spray. If that doesn't work, you might need a new regulator.
